IMPORTANT
Covid-19 update - April 2022
With the relaxations in Covid requirements, we have now returned to blended meetings (that is, meetings for worship in person with Zoom access on-line for those who prefer it) until further notice. We currently meet for worship on the first Sunday of the month. Visitors are welcome - please email <penicuikquakers@blueyonder.co.uk> to get the link for the Zoom meeting. We will update this website as soon as we have more details, but please check with us before arriving for a meeting in person, just in case there is a hitch.
************************************
We keep in touch as best we can with individual members and attenders of the Meeting by e-mail and phone, and we ask those who know of Members and Attenders without access to e-mail to pass on any messages to them - if they can do so safely and legally.
Other nearby meetings have their own arrangements (e.g. blended meetings both on person and on Zoom): you need to contact individual meetings directly through the Quakers in Scotland website for relevant updated information.
We pray that you all remain well in these difficult times.
